In Ghana, intense pressure is mounting on government to not only close the country’s borders as announced but also introduce a lockdown.
Already President Akufo-Addo has directed both public and private schools from tertiary to basic level, to close down until further notice. There is also a ban on social gatherings of more than 25 people.
Confirmed cases as of Tuesday, March 24, stand at 52 with two deaths.
